BARCELONA are the first club to have formally made a bid for Paul Pogba, according to reports.

Pogba's future has been the subject of much speculation with Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City all keen to bring the French international back to England.

Juventus remain keen to keep hold of the player, but would accept a huge bid for the player.

And reports in Italy suggest that Barcelona are the first club to formally test Juve's resolve with a concrete offer.

It is claimed that Barca have told Juve they are prepared to pay £60million for the 22-year-old.
